Rev Gebauer – who has been a vicar for 40 years – said the couple's sexuality was not an issue and he was willing to carry out the baptism if the women agreed to record just one of them as mother.

"The couple are not even from our parish, so we could have informed their local church and directed them there instead. "We can only make sure the child is theirs. For all we know they may have pinched the child. "We suggested time and again that the natural mum be registered as mum.

It's all about tolerance only when it applies to them, ping!

"I'm baptised Church of England, and Victoria is a Catholic. We want him to be brought up the same as we were."

What way is that, confused?

These two people seem unclear about one of the most basic rules of biology. With that in mind, I wonder that they are deemed fit to raise a baby.

So why not baptize the baby? He’s an innocent who has nothing to with the issues raised by the Vicar.

Cut the baby in half and baptize each half under the name of each respective mother. (unfortunately, I suspect both lesbians would support the idea....)

Why is it, that homosexuals have temper tantrums about some aspect of society or institutions which offend them? And then, the news media comes in, and those who offended the homosexuals are reprimanded for their alleged crimes against homosexuality????

On the one hand, liberals tell us that gender roles are outmoded. We shouldn’t talk about mothers and fathers, we should talk about “parents” or “caregivers” to children.

But in this case, the lesbians insist on this retrograde designation that both be mothers. You can’t have it both ways, can you???

Where did baby Alfie come from? Did someone contribute sperm? If so, how was that sperm contributed? Is either of these females the biological mother? If so, it would seem clear that would be who should be listed as the mother. Then again, I am hopefully naive in my thinking, aren’t I???

Send me to re-education camp right now...........

"He did all this for about 10 or 15 minutes and was asking us why we want Alfie brought into the church. "I'm baptised Church of England, and Victoria is a Catholic. We want him to be brought up the same as we were."

Well now I'm sure he will be!

Just because “The Church” says a horse is a camel doesn’t make a horse a camel.

Big Religion continues to marginalize itself.

Defies science this.

Defies biblical teaching too. Looks like the Anglican church in England has gone apostate. One can be a sinner and here is a church that will condone sinning.

What about the biological issue? That’s all that really means anything. Idiotic.

If I were this vicar, I would just walk away. Just walk away and never look back.

Happy to note the Catholic churches here as well as my own Missouri Synod Lutheran church don't have this problem....and I pray they never will.

Apparently one of the ‘partners’ was impregnated by tongue.

I love that little touch: “Rev. Gebauer SAT THERE and told us...”

I mean, can you IMAGINE??? They allow crazy men like him to walk in the STREETS???
